Teleporting while bonded with sovereign glue


Rules Questions

If you are bonded to an object with sovereign glue, a chair say, could you teleport out of it? Or would the chair be brought along for the ride? Would you have to leave your pants behind?

What if it was a large chair, surpassing your carrying limits mentioned in the teleportation spell?

Because it's the most humorous, you must leave your pants behind.

More seriously: It's the teleporter who chooses what he's teleporting. He defines what objects he's taking by touching them. I believe you can also take the contents of a container by touching the container, otherwise you'd have to touch every grain of rice in that burlap sack of rice, unless you INTEND to only take the bag.

What he can't do is divide an solid object. He can, if a joint exists, take only the part he touched, such as taking the cushion of the chair he's seated on with him but leaving the legs and frame behind (assuming the cushion is a detachable piece) but if it's a one-piece stone throne, then it's all or nothing.

The pants is still funniest, assuming it's really the pants that are glued.


Like Slim, I think if you are glued to the chair you probably have to take it with you... or leave the clothes that are glued to the chair behind as the goo made them a single object.

And since parts of your skin and hence your anatomy are also glued tight, you'll have to leave those behind too.

Hey! This could be a wonderful instant weight loss program. Just commission a clever cleric to quick-heal those gaping wounds when you arrive at your destination without a few inches of your beer-laden posterior!

On a more serious note, the glue situation might actually prevent teleportation if your skin and that stone chair are now actually one piece. I suggest teleporting more quickly, in that first round before it sets. <g>

The only example of something similar to this would be from,

Dungeons & Dragons, Wrath of the Dragon God

Is it 3.0 or 3.5? ( I know they used the Players Handbook for it.)

If it does count, then you'll to have your butt scalped prior to finishing the teleport.:-D
